About Marion Wilson

We have lived in the village for over 40 years, and love to welcome visitors to our cosy peaceful home for their holiday, and have a wealth of local knowledge to enable you to enjoy your stay here.

Marion Wilson purchased this Apartment in 2000

Why Marion Wilson chose Workington

We built this house ourselves, and the apartment has been available for letting for over 10 years, with many people coming back year after year to enjoy walking the fells, or just relaxing and exploring the lakes, coast, and local towns.

What makes this Apartment unique

In a small rural village, we are just 5 miles from Cockermouth, and within easy reach of the Northern lakes, Loweswater within 4 miles, Buttermere and Crummock a short drive away. Keswick only 20 miles away. A wealth of wildlife in the extensive gardens, with a variety of birds and even red squirrels feeding just outside the window. A stream with packhorse bridge, pond and woodland path all there for you to enjoy when you arrive. We live on the premises and will be here to welcome you.

It was a stormy week but there was a generous welcome package and nothing was too much trouble for the owners. We are very thankful for all their efforts to make us comfortable & we felt just like well loved visiting relatives. The apartment was small and cosy and we felt very much at home. Thanks Marion & John, we really enjoyed our weeks stay. Roy & Anita

We stayed at Treetops for 2 weeks while our house was being renovated. The apartment was well equipped and clean, Marion was very helpful while we stayed and made us feel at home. Even though there was a shared front door it felt private, the location was lovely and quiet.

It is always nice to welcome guests to our holiday accommodation, and it's a pleasure to know they feel at home, especially if their own home is undergoing renovation, and they need some peace and quiet to come back to!

Peaceful and comfortable accommodation with all the facilities that we needed. Very nice and helpful hosts with a lovely welcome pack. Convenient location for the northern lakes which we enjoyed exploring. We also enjoyed watching the wildlife in the garden including a hedgehog and a wonderful variety of birds on the feeders. The fantastic weather was just a bonus!

We had a very fine holiday; the accommodation was comfortable - the bird feeder just outside the apartment was great entertainment at mealtimes!

The garden was a great attraction too, with the beck running alongside and plenty of peaceful places to sit and listen to the birdsong. A fine pub just a mile's walk away in the adjacent village of Dean, and Ullock itself is well located for access to the the National Park.

Marion and John made us very welcome - and even arranged excellent weather for us ....!

Owner's Response:

Thank you so much for your kind review. We always love to show off our wonderful part of the country, especially when the weather is so good. We have luckily had a wonderful Summer here in the Lakes, and long may it continue.

Our birds are a constant source of time wasting, and even if you don't see the red squirrel the birds are a good substitute. I have recorded over 20 species in the garden, and of course the nightly visit of the hedgehogs is good to see (and hear).

I do hope you will be able to come back sometime - it's always nice to welcome our regular visitors.

Many thanks,

Marion and John.

Great accommodation for 2 people. Everything you could ask for.
